As he got out of the bed, he remembered the cups of tea he had made last night and picked those up so he could refill them.
"Daddy's coming Daniel." He said as he walked out the room to meet Daniel crying. Gently he pulled the door closed behind him and put the mugs on the table before picking his son up out of the crib. "It's alright." Richie said soothingly, hoping he would calm down quickly.
The hotel room was large enough to be a one bedroom apartment. There was a couch with coffee table, chair and a large tv on a stand. A small kitchenette on the other side of the room and behind that a full bathroom, beside the ensuite they had with the bedroom. It was plenty large for the three of them during the weekend.
He carried Daniel to the kitchenette and found his diaper bag on the small table there.
After taking care of a wet diaper, Richie retrieved a bottle out of the bag and quickly made him some formula to warm up in the microwave. Luckily the hotel was fancy enough to provide a nice single serve coffee machine so Richie could make himself a cup of coffee as he made Daniel's milk.
Once both drinks were ready, he carried his cup of coffee to the coffee table. Richie turned on the tv as he sat down on the couch, he leaned back against the armrest with his legs stretched out on the couch. While Daniel held his own bottle, Richie sat him down on his lap so Daniel could lean back against his chest as he drank his milk. As soon as he found a tv show to watch, he reached for his coffee to sip from, enjoying a peaceful moment with his son.
His coffee was almost empty when he heard, "Good morning." He looked over to see Sarah in the doorway of their bedroom, wearing one of the tshirt he had given her last night and pj shorts. It made him smile how she looked beautiful so effortlessly.
She walked over and kissed him sweetly, making Daniel look up at what was happening. He let go of his empty bottle and reached for his mother when she finally looked over. Sarah picked him up and cuddled him.
"Guess I wasn't good enough." Richie commented as he reached to put the mug and bottle on the coffee table, clearing the couch of his legs so Sarah could sit down next to him.
"Don't be silly." Sarah told him as she sat on the couch. "He was perfectly happy with you."
"Until he saw you." He pointed out.
"He just likes his mom." Sarah scooted closer and snuggled into Richie's side, resting her head on his shoulder.
He loved being cuddled by his wife but right now it made him worry. "Are you feeling better this morning?" He asked.
As soon as he did, Sarah looked away towards the tv. "I'm fine."
Richie frowned, feeling bad for his wife but not knowing how to help her. "Do you want breakfast?" He asked eventually.
"Yeah." Sarah answered but kept her eyes on the tv.
"What would you like? We can probably get room service or we can go out or have someone bring us breakfast."
"I don't want to go out."
He frowned, he knew Sarah wanted to sightsee. She had always wanted to see everything. Right now wasn't the time she wanted she wanted to do anything, he understood that too but they were in Las Vegas, this was the place to see so much. It'd be a shame not to take that opportunity.
"We don't have to go anywhere. We'll get breakfast delivered to us."
"I want a bacon McMuffin."
"Okay." Richie said. "I'll get it brought up for you."
Right now he just wanted to help her through it as best as he could. If she needed some time, he could accept that. There would always be more time to see Las Vegas. He just had to support her.
"We could shower before breakfast." Richie suggested, thinking a shower would be a nice way to relax.
"I don't really feel like showering right now, besides, who would watch Daniel?"
She made a good point. "What about a bath then? You can relax, it's got jets and I'll get Daniel dressed and ready for breakfast."
Sarah looked over at him, considering the offer.
He could see right through her and see the sadness she felt, he could feel it. "It'll be nice. I'm sure there's bubble bath as well." He tried to convince her. "I'll go get it started." He got up from the couch and took Sarah not stopping him as a positive answer.
Once back in the main room, he picked up Daniel so Sarah could get up. "All ready for you. Nice and hot, medium about of bubbles." He winked knowingly.
Sarah gave him a weak smile. "Thanks."
He picked up his phone from the coffee table. "I'll get us breakfast."
"Thank you." Sarah said again as she reached in to kiss his cheek before going to the bathroom.
